Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 29 April 2067 at 08:40.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1971"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1903".
Pink Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2067 after 24 days on 28 May 2067 at 18:42.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 6 May 2067 at 05:19
- New Moon in Taurus ♉ on 13 May 2067 at 07:20
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 21 May 2067 at 08:29

Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 832 / 1785
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 832 of Meeus index or 1785 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.5 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 57 minutes. It is 1 hour and 23 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 47 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 22 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠63.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠63.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠98.3°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 04:17. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 21 April 2067 at 15:37 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 19 May 2067 at 10:35 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 368 880 km
This perigee Moon is 368 880 km (229 211 mi) away from Earth. It is 6 372 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 1 476 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 2 May 2067 at 08:57 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 15 May 2067 at 12:44 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 2 May 2067 at 04:12 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.143°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.108° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 May 2067 at 07:53 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 8 days
In 8 days on 13 May 2067 at 07:20 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
